The correct Answer is:
To convert the statement "It is false that he is a carpenter or making a table" into symbols, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Statements We are given: - \( P \): He is a carpenter. - \( Q \): He is making a table. ### Step 2: Understand the Logical Structure The statement "It is false that he is a carpenter or making a table" can be interpreted as the negation of the disjunction of \( P \) and \( Q \). In logical terms, this can be expressed as: - "He is a carpenter or making a table" is represented as \( P \lor Q \). ### Step 3: Apply Negation The phrase "It is false that" indicates that we need to negate the entire disjunction. Therefore, we write: - "It is false that he is a carpenter or making a table" can be expressed as \( \neg (P \lor Q) \). ### Final Expression Thus, the complete symbolic representation of the statement is: \[ \neg (P \lor Q) \] ---
